Marcel Lisboa – Posthuman — São Paulo, Brazil

Graphic designer Marcel Lisboa, living and working in São Paulo, uses digital means to create his utterly unique illustrations; all of which expressions of private worlds that reveal a distinct story and invite endless contemplation. Having begun his career working in advertising agencies, Lisboa is well attuned to the pop culture sensitivities of our age. Through digital collage the artist reflects his key inspirations: the Renaissance and the Baroque: an unusual source for an artist working with collage. But by shunning the usual genealogy of the Dadaists, Lisboa creates a unique aesthetic based on stunning draftsmanship, evocative scenography, an ethereal palette, and dramatic chiaroscuro.
